#asterisk: prison wildfire fighters don't get equal opportunity to go into the workforce after leaving prison

[dreadfutures]

I do have my issues about the Corridor YouTubers but this is a really good discussion about the current wildfires in SoCal, the destruction, and the geography of the area and how it contributes to our fires.

In some you can see the hurricane speed winds. You can see that the brush does get trimmed back but the whole state is so dry that it will still burn with 100mph wind friction and heat. It's not any political *fault, this is the worst wind storm and worst fire conditions ever. It's a natural disaster.

One thing that's not the most apparent is how hard it can be to get out of neighborhoods in the foothills where the roads are really tight and switchbacky. Another thing that's blink and you'll miss it is the mention of embers getting caught on the winds. You can be ok and far from an evacuation danger zone one minute and then the sparks get blown 100mph into your neighborhood and your house goes up; or one side of your house could be on fire and you are in such an apocalyptic situation that you might as well take a video :-/ I hate it when people are saying those people are dumb or it's their fault if things get destroyed when you don't know the conditions they might be (not) able to drive in or (not) evacuate from their neighborhood or how it feels to lose absolutely everything.

Anyway the ad revenue on this video will be donated.
